Do you go to the Chevy Nats in Carlisle? I usually head down in my Monte Carlo because I meet up with my Monte crew and hang out, but next year I'm going to drive this 2012, and maybe get my father to trailer down the 68.

Haha thanks!

I never thought I would like a red Camaro as much as I do with this crystal red. I never thought I'd like any color besides my inferno orange, but as I was looking at cars, I really started to like a few different colors. This Crystal Red, and Blue Ray Metallic were front-runners for me if I couldn't get another IOM.

Probably not. She’s not big on those type of shows. Maybe I can get my buddy with his 68 to go.

I have a buddy with that great metallic red. He just slapped on BMR springs and it looks even better!

CONGRATS AGAIN MIKE!

I test drove an L99 before I bought my M6, and I was a little disappointed by the acceleration as well. But to me the M6 felt like it had way better throttle response. I don't know if that's accurate but that's what the butt dyno told me.

I wonder if it is the fuel, but you have the skill to tune it anyway. Bronxx still insists that I need a Vitesse TC but I'm happy as is... especially after installing a ported TB and headers/cats this summer.

Yeah I'm going to run a few tanks of premium before I start doing some data-collecting. I also want to take the time to get general maintenance done that I'm not sure was ever completed (trans, diff, coolant changes) and I also don't know what oil is in the car, so I'll do my own oil change real soon too.

I think I can get it to where I'm happy in no time.
